Jul22008Online Instructions for XAMPP and MAMP
If you use Dreamweaver’s database-driven page building tools, it’s a good idea to have a working Web server running on your own computer. In my books I recommend XAMPP for Windows and MAMP for Macs. Because the software is updated more frequently than my book, I’ve put instructions for setting up a testing server using these two programs on my Web site. I’ll keep these instructions up-to-date as new versions of XAMPP and MAMP come out:

Apr32008Dreamweaver Security Update for Flash Video
If you use the “Insert Flash Video” command in either Dreamweaver CS3 or Dreamweaver 8, you should download a security update from the Adobe Web site. Apparently the code inserted by Dreamweaver is open to “cross site scripting attacks.” Adobe doesn’t go into much detail about how these “attacks” might work, but they mention that there is the potential that an “attacker could gain access to the customer’s session by appending a script to the link.” At any rate, you can never be too safe, you should download and install the update.
Click here to download the security update and for instructions on installing it.
You can also learn more about the problem from this security bulletin on Adobe’s site.
